Strategic Allied Consulting was paid $3 million by the RNC, $400k by the Colorado GOP, another $1.3 million by the Florida GOP, just to name a few. Not bad for a company that just opened up in June. The owner's other company is on the payroll of the Romney campaign.

Our company has recently come under scrutiny because the Palm Beach CountySupervisor of Elections found approximately 20 suspicious cards that had beenturned into her office through a project our company managed.

Due to our quality control measures, we were able to identify that the cards inquestion were all the work of one individual. We then gathered copies of the other86 cards this gentleman had collected and turned those over to them as well.

Ms. Bucher, the Supervisor of Elections, thanked our managers for theirorganization and complimented our team for its quality control measures.

To put this in perspective, in Palm Beach over 100 people worked on the effort.Statewide in Florida, over 2,000 worked on the effort. And nationally, we hadthousands more working in other states.

The reason we have quality control measures in place is because we recognize thatwith projects this large, there will be isolated incidents of individuals trying to cheatthe system.

We are aware of questionable cards in a few additional counties. In the threecounties where we know the details, each county is limited to one individual.

Our voter registration projects began in 2004 with a large project from theRepublican National Committee. Toward the end of that project, an individual inNV spuriously claimed to see Democrat voter registration cards torn up and in atrashcan.

Senator Kennedy requested an investigation by the Department of Justiceconcerning the entire effort. The DOJ and Arizona Attorney General's Officelaunched an investigation. After a period of time, the investigations and the fileswere closed. Readers may view the file closing cover sheet here. It should also benoted that the Attorney General in Arizona at the time was a Democrat.

The Democrat Attorney General in Oregon and the Nevada Attorney General alsobegan investigations. In each of the three investigations conducted by four lawenforcement agencies, we were given a clean bill of health.

Our quality control measures and the clear intent of our culture to not tolerate fraudwere clearly on display to anyone investigating. We would refer you to a memo draftedby our attorney detailing the rigorous quality control procedures that we enforcewith our supervisors. That memo can be seen here.

In the eight years that our company and affiliated companies have existed, wehave registered over 500,000 voters across the country. We have conducted voterregistration and grassroots projects in over 40 states.

There is a reason we are hired for these difficult projects. No other consultingcompany in the country can quickly grow a program to scale with high levels ofquality control in place, meet its goals and stay on budget.

We are very proud of our work product. Unfortunately, not everyone takes the issueof fraud seriously. When someone commits voter fraud, it is an affront to everyoneliving in this country. We wrote the following email to our supervisors toward thebeginning of this project. It can be viewed here.

When the Republican Party of Florida chose to make likely libelous commentsabout our effort and stated that the Republican National Committee suggested usas the vendor, the RNC was put in the unenviable position of ending a long-termrelationship for the sake of staying focused on the election.

While we wish their comments yesterday would have more accurately addressed thesituation, we understand the logic of ending distractions and winning elections. Wewish our friends there nothing but success going forward.

Previously, during this campaign we issued the following email to our supervisors:

"Supervisors,

The bright white lights of a presidential campaign are on. This was filmed in NV. You can see that our worker did her job pefectly. Good job, but what if she hadn't? We have to constantly remind our supervisors of our culture of excellence and integrity. Excellence because we are thorough, precise and pay attention to detail. Integrity because we honor the sanctity of the voter registration process. When a new voter entrusts us with there voter registration card, there are a few things that deserve more care and attention. Men and women gave their lives so we could have the privilege to vote. When we drill into our supervisors heads that regardless of who the new voter supports for President we will honor their card with the respect it deserves, we teach them how to teach their workers.

"The Rove" is used so often that any accusation from a GOP/Republican/Conservative should trigger an investigation into the relevant Republican people or organization. Immediately, if it's a serious allegation.

If Obama gets accused of being a lizardman, then we need thermal scanners installed at GOP conventions.

No, she just needs to be taught about election law and polling procedures. So here's my solution: tie her down to a saw horse or pillar and then have an oiled cheerleader wearing a patriotic bikini read her the relevant election laws while two busty Japanese women dressed as nurses spank her.

Afterwards, of course, anyone who might have been disfranchised or was offended by her behavior will form a line to run a train on her, of course.

Sproul told the Times he formed Strategic Allied Consulting at the request of the RNC for publicity's sake, given past negative media coverage of Lincoln stemming from past allegations going back to 2004, when employees in Nevada and Oregon signed up Democrats but threw out their forms instead of turning them in.

So the GOP can't really claim they were somehow mislead on this, they actually sought this guy out and suggested he form a new company to try to obscure who they were dealing with.

Ah, the old "Change your name so it takes longer for people to realize your pulling the same old dirty tricks" ploy.

So...legalized money laundering?

$400K is half of colorado gop's budget. are they looking to bankrupt themselves?

Yep. And how much do you want to bet that SAC goes out of business in the next couple months, but that all the employees find nice new jobs at a new company called Democratic Elections 'R' Perfect?

And in four years, they'll hire him again.

I'd say it's a plus he get caught sooner and sooner in the election cycle, but given what he's doing, he should see massive fines and jail time.

James F. Campbell: Let me guess: Democrats do it too, so vote Republican.

More like "Democrats have been doing it too, for years, and in wholesale lots." And they're still doing it.

There were two women doing voter registration downtown just the other day. They were going about it in an interesting fashion - they'd go to young women and minorities, but go out of their way to avoid men or conservative-looking white women.

This has been the standard practice for years of Democrat-sponsored voter registration drives: either ignore anyone who didn't "look" right, or only go to places for voter registration drives where they'd get strong Democrat support. Of course, the real issue with the Democrat registration drives by groups like ACORN wasn't in only registering one party's voters, but in making up fake Democrat registrations and discarding registrations for the Republicans...
